Hope Valley Fringe Haiku

All are winners..!

We were genuinely impressed by both the quality of ideas and of the approach to their Haikus presented to us by the students from the college. They each explore in their own different ways our relationship with earth – in keeping with the Haiku tradition to take, as its subject, the natural world and nature.

A special prizegiving at the Hope Valley College will take place very soon where we will be giving a short appraisal of the entries and ranking the Haikus in three categories:

Brilliant

Highly innovative

Showing considerable potential

With a little extra work, we considered that any one of the students could have become one of the prize winners.

Here is a flavour of the entries, chosen at random!
